The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 404

Neera briefly introduced Philbert. "He was my senior when I studied abroad. His name is Philbert. He's also very famous in the medical field. It happened that he had returned to Kingsview. I worried your mom would miss the best healing time, so I invited him to help. He's an authority in this area. The components I showed you before were all analyzed by him."

As she said that, she smiled, and her eyes were clean without any impurities. "Phil is the hero this time!"

Seeing her talking about Philbert as if talking about an old friend without any other emotions, Jean's sense of crisis had inexplicably disappeared without a trace.

He nodded. "When I'm free later, I have to treat him to a meal to thank him."

"Okay, I'll tell him after detoxifying the poison in your mom's body."

After speaking, she glanced at the unconscious Wrenn. "Your mom probably won't wake up for a while. I temporarily suppressed the poison in her body. It won't flow into her heart in a short time. I'll go back to the research center first. When we develop an antidote, I'll come over."

She was about to leave, but Jean grabbed her wrist. "You look tired. You need to rest. You should go home and sleep first. Let's go together."

Hearing that, Neera hesitated. "But..."

Jean knew Neera wanted to cure Wrenn's disease as soon as possible but insisted on persuading, "What you need most now is to rest. You're not in good spirits now. Your efficiency won't be high even if you go to the research center. Most importantly, I don't want you to be exhausted because of this. Your team members are in the research center. You can go there after you rest."

His tone was too gentle, which made Neera's heart tremble.

She had never heard Jean speak in such a tone. It was magnetic, low, and attractive.

She nodded in a daze. As a result, she unconsciously followed Jean to the Imperial Gardens!

Before leaving the car, Jean told Neera gently, "Don't think about anything else. Take a good rest. No matter what happens, wait until you wake up."

Neera returned to her senses and quickly replied, "Okay, you too. Have a good rest."

When she got home, Adriana and the triplets were asleep.

She was so busy these days that she did not even have time to accompany Adriana and neglected the triplets. She could not help but feel a little guilty.

After going upstairs, Neera pondered for a while and walked lightly into the triplets' room to see them.

The triplets were sleeping soundly with their mouths slightly open. Their little faces flushed and looked cute.

Neera's heart softened unconsciously. After a while, she backed out gently and prepared to return to her room. Unexpectedly, Adriana opened the door at this moment.

"Aunt Adriana?" Neera was a little surprised. "Aren't you asleep?"

Adriana wore silk pajamas and leaned lazily on the door.

"I heard the movement and knew you were back, so I got up. Tell me. What's going on? Katy said you're developing an antidote because your friend's mom got poisoned. What kind of friend can make you sleepless and tired like this?"

Neera hesitated, thought for a while, and felt it was time to talk about Jean.

This matter was not trivial. Before that, Neera worried Adriana would be too angry and rushed back from abroad, so she did not mention it. Now, Neera did not need to hide it.

After all, Adriana would meet the Garcia family afterward. Sooner or later, Adriana would know the Garcia family forced Neera to marry into the Beauvort family.

So, Neera pointed to Adriana's room and said, "It's a long story. Let me go to your room and talk about it slowly."

Upon hearing that, Adriana let Neera in. They sat on the bed facing each other. Then, Neera told Adriana the whole story.
